RIVERSIDE CEMETERY, 
RICEVILLE, lA. 
The accompanying plat 
of Riverside Cemetery, Riceville, 
la., shows a plan for the remodel- 
ing on modern lines of an old-fash- 
ioned burying ground with its char- 
acteristics of rectangular platting 
and general neglect. The old por- 
tion, indicated, so far as it has been re- 
tained, by dotted lines, was nearly all occu- 
pied, as were also the outlying lots, 267, 
shown in the enlargement of the driveway 
in the lower comer of the diagram, and 
125, on the left border of Section A, which 
had to be worked into the general re-arrangement on 
the lawn plan. 
The additional tract to the north of the old section 
embraces seven acres of a sparsely wooded ridge, 
sloping gently southward to the valley of a little river, 
beyond which is Riceville. Pretty glimpses of the 
cemetery may be caught through the trees from some 
parts of the city. The approach from the east is by 
a private way, and in order to relieve the cramped 
-appearance of the entrance, the gates have been moved 
100 feet down this right of way.

SCALE, 1 IN. TO 120 FEET. 
The work has been promoted by the ladies of Rice- 
ville, and the plans are by Frank H. Nutter, of Min- 
neapolis, Minn., who is supervising the work of im- 
provement now in progress.
